Physical Effects of Marijuana Use
[ send me this paper ]
A 12 page paper discussing some of the current research into what the actual physical effects of long-term marijuana might be. Studies of controlled subjects indicate that the effects of varying levels of THC generally last no more than 24 hours, but other researchers have concluded that lung function of long-term marijuana smokers is even more damaged than that of tobacco smokers. Still others have isolated precancerous cells from lung biopsies. What researchers know best at present is that there is much to learn about the subject. For now, the issue remains divided largely between the proponents and opponents of legalization measures. Includes an abstract. Bibliography lists 14 sources.

[ send me this paper ]
9 pages in length. The vicious cycle of social determinism plagues virtually every aspect of life, however, no place is more evident of this than with the relationship among law enforcement, drugs and race. Policing such an overwhelming cause as rampant drug use has brought to light an interwoven component of ethnic inclusion to the point of rendering a social stigma to such a stereotype. The primary reason that these three seemingly unrelated entities are inextricably entangled with one another is because of the vicious cycle of poverty and crime, with particular emphasis upon the economic and political struggles of inner-city existence in the United States.
